Looking at getting a new DSLR camera, probably Nikon D5000 or Canon EOS 450D or 500D. Any opinions on Nikon vs. Canon? Both seem really good, but I'm not sure which system would be more suitable.

We're looking at a photographer called Karl Blossfeldt at school. His work is really inspiring! Although the photos were taken over a hundred years ago, they show real character in some unusual subjects. Anyone intrested in traditional art based on plants and other natural forms should really take a look. He took photos of odd parts of plants magnified so they seem differeent, in some cases unrecognisable. It really makes you realise how little we really know about the world we live in.

Last day of school today! Looking forward to next year because I start learning art for GCSE, which will be much more interesting than what we used to be taught in art. Going to France on holiday soon, I'll make lots of sketches and hopefully a couple of paintings.
